Sosigenes Created The Julian Calendar For Caesar – Seeing The Future Using Bible History (04 of 26)

Series 211 - Looking Ahead After Looking Behind

About this video:
When God created the Sun Moon and stars, he brought all the light from the stars to the earth so that we could see them, because many of the stars are farther away than light could travel in six thousand years — the length of time we’ve been on earth. And just to give you an idea of the precision he uses when calculating time: He's spinning the earth on its axis at a rate of 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds per day; and at the same time he’s rotating it around the Sun once per year in 365 days, 6 hours, 45 minutes, and 48 seconds! And he uses all these weird numbers for very interesting reasons I’ll discuss in the video. What marvelous synchrony! God is deliberate and purposeful in everything he does. You’ve got to think about that. Everything has its being, its origin, its function because God is deliberate.

The calendar we use today was given to us by Julius Caesar around 45 BC. He had an Egyptian mathematician named Sosigenes figure out the calendar. Cesar wanted to get rid of the use of the moon in keeping track of time. Synchronizing time with the moon is a very frustrating thing to do because the moon and the Sun do not move together in perfectly aligned cycles, and so Caesar wanted a calendar that was completely free of the moon. It was just too frustrating to deal with. So Sosigenes created the calendar and Caesar approved it, and this became known as the Julian calendar.
